![The life cycle of the desert locust consists of three stages, the egg, the nymph known as a hopper, and the winged adult. Copulation takes place when a mature male hops onto the back of a mature female and grips her body with his legs. Sperm is transferred from the tip of his abdomen to the tip of hers, where it is stored. The process takes several hours and one insemination is sufficient for a number of batches of eggs.[8]](https://i1.wp.com/thepoliticus.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/1280px-Schistocerca_gregaria_01.jpg?fit=300%2C208&ssl=1)
